žabar
Rfv-sense for Frenchman.


 * Just google for "žabar" "francuz" (with quote marks) and you'll find results that corroborate such usage. Fojr (talk) 12:39, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you provide evidence? I tried it and it gets tonnes of hits, but in Polish. Also Google on its own not an acceptable source. Renard Migrant (talk) 13:24, 28 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Examples of usage with the sense "Frenchman", from the first couple of pages of Google's results : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Fojr (talk) 14:34, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Any CFI-meeting ones? Renard Migrant (talk) 22:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The number of occurences of that sense suggests a "clearly widespread usage". Fojr (talk) 09:08, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll take that as a no, then. Bare in mind it's not up to me. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Pinging two users who speak Serbo-Croatian and have edited recently, ; does жабар/žabar sometimes mean "Frenchman"? does it mean "Italian", for that matter? in books, magazines, etc? (Issuu.com's search engine finds lots of magazines which use the word, but I don't speak the language well enough to easily tell which sense.) - -sche (discuss) 18:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 * A very belated postscript (sorry for not responding sooner!): in my experience, yes, it does mean ‘Italian’, no, I’ve never heard it used for ‘Frenchman’ (but the non-duracly archived links above do use it that way, FWIW), and durably archived attestations for either one seem very difficult to find. —Vorziblix (talk) 08:17, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
